An item not on this list, which is also of real importance for
numeric programers, is rich comparisons.  David Ascher has
written a fairly complete proposal

(http://starship.python.net/crew/da/proposals/richcmp.html)

and about two years ago it was part of the proposed V1.6 feature list:

but I haven't heard it mentioned as part of 1.6/1.7 -- anyone know
the status of the rich comparison proposal?
